Create new RSVPs in VAN [3]

[aguestuser]

Acceptance Criteria

GIVEN a running server with and API key for a client's VAN account, and an Event in its database:

• WHEN a sysadmin issues a command from a running server:
• THEN the event, all of its rsvps, and all of the people who have RSVP'ed will be sent to VAN (in a format that VAN can read)
• IF POST FAILS:
  • THEN the sysadmin will see an error message in the console
• IF POST SUCCEEDS:
  • THEN the sysadmin will see a confirmation message
  • AND the event's VAN id will be persistend in the DB
  • AND the timestamp of the latest successful sync for all records will be recorded in the DB

Implementation notes

• we must sync events & people before attendances, so that we can use the event and people id's when creating new attendances in VAN
• (we could be more fine-grained than this, but we are trying to keep it simple up front...)

Definitions

[stub]

• VAN api is here: https://developers.ngpvan.com/van-api
• the affinity representation of an Event is: @@tdb@@
• the VAN representation of an Event is: @@TBD@@
• the VAN representation of an Attendance is: @@TBD@@@
• the VAN representation of a Person is: @@TBD@@
• sync status will be represented on the Event model as follows: @@TBD@@

Out of Scope

• retrying failed VAN API calls
• trying to determine whether the people who have RSVP'ed already exist in the VAN. save that for Sync RSVP diffs from AK to VAN [2] #4
